  • Patent number: 9306468
    Abstract: In an AC-AC converter comprising a primary side, a secondary side and a regulator, wherein the regulator comprises a voltage regulation circuit configured to determine an error voltage based on an at least partially alternating feedback voltage fed into the regulator from the secondary side of the AC-AC converter and to supply this error voltage and/or an information about this error voltage to the primary side of the AC-AC converter, the regulator comprises an averaging circuit configured to determine an average DC voltage based on the feedback voltage.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9214869
    Abstract: A converter transformer (7) with a primary winding and a secondary winding, an integrated current transformer arranged to measure a winding current of the converter transformer, and a synchronous rectifier (11, 12) connected to the secondary winding of the converter transformer are provided. A controller is arranged to close respectively to open the synchronous rectifier depending on the measured winding current. The controller is arranged to close and/or to open the synchronous rectifier as a function of the winding current at a later and/or at an earlier time, whereby the time difference between the later and the earlier time is linearly dependent on the winding current difference, particularly to optimize a discharge process, and/or that an auxiliary supply circuit is arranged to provide auxiliary supply power, wherein the auxiliary supply circuit is arranged to derive auxiliary supply power from the integrated current transformer, in particular in overload situations.

  • Publication number: 20120218793
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power converter and a method for power conversion. A converter transformer with a primary winding and a secondary winding, an integrated current transformer and a synchronous rectifier are provided, wherein a controller is arranged in order to close respectively to open the synchronous rectifier depending on the measured winding current. The controller is arranged to close and/or to open the synchronous rectifier as a function of the winding current at a later and/or at an earlier time, whereby the time difference between the later and the earlier time is linearly dependent on the winding current difference, particularly in order to optimise a discharge process, and/or that an auxiliary supply circuit is arranged in order to provide auxiliary supply power, wherein the auxiliary supply circuit is arranged to derive auxiliary supply power from the integrated current transformer, in particular in overload situations.
